Nora grew anxious, then she looked at me and said, “Scarlett, listen to me. Let’s go and search every store’s trashcan. We might be able to find it.”

“Why the trashcans?” I asked, in puzzlement.

She thought for a while and said, “I can’t tell you now. Let’s go and search first.”

Having said that, she pulled me towards the store and began to look into the trashcans of every store. She even asked the storekeepers if they had changed the trash bag.

Although I did not understand what Nora meant, I went along with her.

“Found it!” After searching in a few stores, she finally found the documents in a trashcan. She exclaimed in delight, “I found it!”

I was stunned when I saw her retrieved the documents from the bottom of the trashcan.

Armond was just as surprised. Just like me, he never thought that the documents would be in the trashcan.

Nora handed the documents to me and said, “Look through it and see if there’s anything missing.”

Then she walked towards the storekeeper and raised her voice. “What’s wrong with you people? Why didn’t you keep the documents until the owner comes back for them? Why did you throw such important documents into the trashcan?”
